The crop bulletin of the Signal Office for
the past week says that the drought prev
iously reported i'll the corn belt i'll the
central valleys has been followed by gen.
eral rains, and the conditions existing
indicate that rain will continue in this sec
ton; but the reports from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas
state that the rains came too late to cause
marked improvement in the already in
jured crop. The weather has been gener-
ally favorable for all crops in the States
on the Atlantic coast, from Georgia north
ward to New England; and reports from
Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama indi-
dictate that the weather for the week has
been favorable for the cotton crop, al
though the crop needs more rain in por-
tions Of Tennessee and Arkansas. Less
than 80 per cent. of the usual amount of
rain was reported in the tobacco region of
Kentucky and West Tennessee during the
past four weeks. During the same period
in Virginia over rs per cent. of the usual
amount of rain fell, aud in North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania and Connecticut the
rainfall for the month has been largely in
excess.
The attempted suicide on Tuesday nj ght
of James Silpath, a brother of Mayor \.
III. Silpath, of Burlington, has created n
sensation in that city, where lie is well
known. The reason for the rash act is
said to be a secret marriage which Silpath
contracted in March last with Kate Fitz-
henry. His family bitterly opposed the
match for social reasons. His wife urged
Silpath to leave her. but he refused, saying
he would kill not only himself but her also
before lie would do SO. On Tuesday Sill
path began drinking, and after abusing his
wife went to the river and jumped over
board. Being rescued and arrested, he
severed his %windpipe with a razor while in
his cell. He is not expected to recover.

DOG JIMRANG THE BELL.
10 Made Up His Mind That lie Would Sleep In the
House.

10 Made Up Ills Mind That lie Would Sleep In the
House.
The farmers throughout the region OF
Pulaski, Pa, hang loud-sounding bells
on high posts near their houses, to be
lsed as dinner signals, to summon
aid in case OF fire on the premises, or
10 give other signals TO their neighbours
J. II. Davidson, n farmer living near
here, has big bell on n twelve-foot
post. lie also has a shepherd dog
named jim. jim is forced:to sleep
out OF doors and in cold weather, he
loes not relish it. A rope hangs
down from Davidson's bell, so that
it can be easily reached. The
night was very cold one,
and also bright one. Some
where about midnight Davidson was
awakened by the ringing OF his big bell.
He jumped out OF bed and ran down
20 the Kitchen door and opened it to
,ook out and see what the matter was.
The bell, post and rope We're plainly
visible, but nothing else could be seen
near them. Jim, the dog, came into
the kitchen when the door was opened,
and lay down by the stove.
Farmer Davidson was puzzled. lie
was sure that the dog would have
made an cutlery if any one had come
on the grounds The ringing OF the
bell was mystery. Davidson made
The dog 90 out doors, and then went
back to bed. He had just got nice
ly tucked in under the covers,
when the sound OF the bell, ringing
three times loudly and unmis-
takably, was heard again. Davidson
,prang out of bed, and hurried down
stairs again. No one was to be seen.
The dog again came in the house, and
lay down by the stove.
If others in the house hadn't heard
the bell the farmer would have thought
he must be mistaken. No one in the
house is superstitious, but this mys-
terious ringing OF the bell by unseen
hands made them all feel uncomforta-
ole. The family sat up for an hour
watching out of windows, but no one
came to ring the bell. The dog was
turned outdoors again, and the family
went back to bed. Quiet had barely
oeen restored in the house, when the
sharp clang of the bell rang out once
more. There was general stampede
Of the family down stairs again.
This time alarm and uneasiness was
depicted on every face. Farmer Da-
wilson dressed himself, went out and
made thorough search OF the premis-
IS, and returned as much mystihed
and more disturbed than before. The
log Jim came back in the house with
him.
1t was agreed that no human being
could be responsible for the ringing OF
the bell, for if such was the case the
log would have barked. Jim was
driven from the house again, and the
family went back upstairs, but not
to bed. They sat by the windows and
looked out upon the bell post with
unquestionable awe. As they looked
they saw the dog Jim trot deliberately
y from the house to the bell post. He
raised up on his hind feet, seized the
bell rope in his teeth, and gave it three
Or four vigorous jerks. The bell rang
and the mystery was solved. Jim
nad made up his mind that he wanted
to sleep in the house that cold night.
He was let in at once, and the family
went to sleep.

Many people who have accumulated
few hundred or few THOUSAND dollars
would be grateful to the man who would
tell them how TO invest it so that it would
yield a sure increase without danger of
loss. 1t is the danger. in fac: almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that deters people from placing
their aCCumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula>
tive. ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble" There
is, however. one means of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit
with no chance Of loss. Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; power Of producing something
which gives it price. An impossibility
Of destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability There
are two ways in which o person
can invest in real estate small
or large sum The first by
loaning to others a portion of its
value, giving to them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return a portion of the
product of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with 81 reasonable income from this in
vcstment. this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
ton Of an increase in the value This
will be affected more or less by circum>
stances, but the certainty OF gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any obtainable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
this? Then call on me at my Office in
